It could have been said within specific contexts instead of a general statement.l In fact I think it was, which does shed a different light on it.
It’s possible she didn’t mean it or could be she didn’t know what else to say. Like maybe she wasn’t able to say what she really thought about the situation (like maybe she thought saying anything else would upset you and she said that not knowing what to say). If she is a good friend, she maybe didn’t mean harm.
Thanks for this!
